Archivist Notes On This Video

Report form Al-Ahli hospital following strikes on 2 schools in Gaza City. Translation of key points:

  • A child is heard crying in horrible pain throughout the entire TV report (over 5 minutes).
  • The news anchor concerningly interrupts Islam about the lack of anaesthetic or painkillers, which Islam could not confirm but did not rule out.
  • Ahli Hospital is a small facility; previously, most cases were referred to Al-Shifa, but it is currently the only operational institution in Gaza City.
  • Excess casualties are transferred to the Indonesian and Kamal Adwan hospitals in north Gaza City, both of which are also small.
  • More casualties continue to arrive.
  • Corpses laid behind the reporter, where funeral prayers are held.
  • Martyrs are interred on the grounds of Ahli Hospital due to the danger, the lack of available cemeteries, and their desecration by IDF.
  • Ahli hospital now also serves as a cemetery, compounding the already difficult atmosphere in the overcrowded facility filled with refugees, queues of patients, mourners, etc.
  • Ahli Hospital also serves as a cemetery, complicating the atmosphere in the overcrowded facility filled with refugees and mourners.
  • Martyrs are observed being taken to the cemetery on hospital grounds.
  • The reception area has only 6 beds and no medical equipment; the church on the premises has been repurposed as a reception area.
  • Total of 10 beds available while casualties arrive in dozens; those in excess must lie on the floor, waiting for their turn.
  • Surgical capabilities limited to 2 operating rooms: life-saving interventions and orthopedic surgeries only. All other procedures are either unavailable or distributed among various hospitals (Indonesian Hospital and Patient's Friend Hospital)
